Intensive Ayurveda Courses
Morning session of practicals at Barberyn Beach
Thilaka, Janani, Shakunthala the trio arrive
To teach the Barberyn therapy that is so fine
Narayana Thripala, Sharshapadi the oils so devine
Wedamahaththayas guarded recipes still kept alive
Three models on the bed
The bodies oiled and spread
Therapists ready to go ahead
When Thilaka signals to start from leg
Charlotte, Kayo and Shiromi”s hand glide from toe to head
Anja, Patricia and Kayo allowing them to do their best
Inside out and out side in, three times up and three times down
Around the shoulders and the spine until the model snores aloud
Patiently Thilaka guide the fingers
To places where pressure is needed
No one can escape her eyes that linger
Until all perfect the ancient art of Ayurveda
